Dr. Marzano Discusses the Benefits of Interactive Whiteboard Technology
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS AND VOTING TECHNOLOGY
On this, Robert Marzano was very clear. This technology is the future of education. His data was undeniable.
1. Of those classrooms employing these boards and using the voting technology, there was an immediate 17-percentile gain in scores.
2. He also found that if a teacher were using the board for 20-30 months, there was, on average, a 20 percentile gain. Thus, proving that with time and practice, a teacher can hone his/her skills to encourage even more student success.
3. The "Sweet Spot" he says, the perfect storm of student achievement according to his findings, was when the technology was used by an experienced teacher, having had it for 2 years, using it 75% of the time in class, who has had training. That teacher shows a whopping 29% gain in scores.
